And Time the Wheel Keeps Turning Steadily

The season is changing gradually
A few raindrops a few red leaves at play
As autumn arrives incrementally

I go out to embrace late summer's day
Only to have autumn gently remind
Me what the calendar says presently

The future slips forward the past behind
And time the wheel keeps turning steadily
It turns as a beautiful carousel

A riddle now demonic now divine
Sometimes it is heaven and sometimes hell
Nonetheless beautiful always to me

I ride the wheel and find it suits me fine
Enjoy your ride and see you ride it well
For we must pay for that which we will see

We ride forever but no one rides free

I like it!

Thank you, my friends; the fact that you are both such fine poets makes your words of encouragement mean even more to me.

Love,

All of the best things in life are free. Thought, expression, friendship, words, and love. Peace to all of you fellow poets! Sending all of the above to you dear Stevie.

Hey Rodger, it's great to hear from you and to see you back among us, especially represented by such a great poem I read of yours yesterday; thanks for your kind words of encouragement, and I hope all is well with you.

Love,

+Stevie

I'm always among you, though I may not always comment. I am well. Busy and productive and working on the second month of my marriage. It's nice to have finally found the right girl. Blessings to you all.

Rodger

you have got to be my favorite artist so far...This is yet another great piece.
Again all i can say is WOW. Your work is sooo powerful.
misty..

Yowza, Misty! Thank you!

Your words really make me happy, happier than you can probably imagine. All I ever wanted to do was communicate, to touch another heart with mine; to quote myself:

"I have not lived in vain but lived for this"

You are my fave as well, so the feeling is mutual.

Love,

+Stevie
